    I deleted Uber, Boycotted Starbucks and hid Tinder in a secret folder on my phone.

    I already have boycotted the place, more than twenty years now. It must be obvious to any pee brain that the CEO of swill is catering to his clientèle. They are obligated to be on the otherside of the fence, so then is he.

    I seek out Tulley's when in Ballard, it's across the street from Starbucks. Good coffee too.

    This is like when Trumpies said they'd boycott Hamilton. So, just like me "boycotting" NASCAR, then.

    Okay, I'm sure there are actually plenty of Trump voters who go to Starbucks. And probably, in Butthole Nebraska it's pretty hard to find a place that sells coffee that ISN'T Starbucks. (Okay, I guess McDonalds, if you want that special sheen of meat juice floating on top. But if you think McDonald's isn't hiring immigrants then explain to me why they've set up their registers so you can run them without speaking a word of English.)

    Anyway, let's just say Howard Schultz is probably not quaking in his boots.

    All I know is I'm never letting you have a play date with my puppy Barney. He's such a good boy.

    I don't drink coffee. But I am driving to Southern California Sunday to help pack up my late father's house. I am grateful for the fact that I can now find a cup of tea on the road as there are Starbucks in the most rinky dink towns along I-5.

    Dang! I have occasionally wondered how a chain like Starbucks could stay in business. I never occured to me it was a lefty thing. No wonder I find it distasteful. Ha! feel safe, I won't be there.

    Why limit it to homo sapiens? Show some love for ape-ricotts.

    It's like the iPhone of coffee shops without any of the actual good qualities that Apple actually has.

    Starbucks is popular because its clean so crackaz can feel nice and suburban and shit no matter where they are. Also, it doesn't look like walmart so they can pretend they are rich.

    As for the $5 lattes, who gives a shit. Saving 5 bucks a day isn't gonna make you rich, son.

    Crap, and I've just been throwing mine away. How much do you pay for coffee grounds? I generate a couple of filters full per day - do you pick up or do I need to ship them to you?

    You do realize that being a judgmental and elitist asshole doesn't really help bring people together, right?

    Fat shaming Steve Bannon and punching Nazis brings them joy. Let em have it.

    It's amazing to me how one minute these people can be saying "Love Trumps Hate" and then the next minute they're calling the people who voted for Trump "Nazis" and "rednecks" and white trash and things like that.

    Hypocrisy is a son of a bitch.

    Is bringing people together the goal all of a sudden? First I've heard of it.

    Liberals are clearly mentally ill, unhinged, violent shit bags.

    It just kind of shows you that Humanity at its core is bad. Mankind is not good, they are all fucking scumbags.
